are urging such action, put fresldenG Dill, Secretary Andros and other influential erangers are opposed to it and are fighting it. The claim of the discontented grangers is that only $500 is devoted to their depart ment, while over $3, ,000 is given to the other agricultural exhibitors. If they go they say the State association fair will be broken up, as the exhibitors of agricultural implements will follow the grangers. The movement, it is thought, will not prove successful.
 At meeting of the grangers last night the following resolutions were passed:
 Whereas. the eighteenth annual exhibition by the farmers of Connecticut of the agricul- tural products of the State has been ham, pered and hindered by the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad in departing from the custom upon it's road since the first fair in 1854, providing for free transporta tion of stock and articles for exhibit at said fair, and whereas, no reason appears to us to exist whereby the establishment of @ rule conflicting with the custom of the aforesaid is made necessary by the requirements of the interstate commerce law, and believing that the interest of this railroad and all railroads in this State are identical with the interests of the agriculturists of this State and that neither business, policy or law necessitates such action, therefore;
 We, the representatives of the various granges of the P. of H. that have had ex- hibits at the eighteenth annual fair of the Connecticut Agricultural society, and have been put to much inconvenience and expense do hereby place upon record an unqualified protest against the action of said road as above mentioned, and declare our belief that the continuance of said rule will work per- manent injury to the future exhibitions of this society and also to the railroads of this State, and respectfully ask that the rule at present in force be revoked and the old cus- tom that has been in force since 1854 be restored.
 C. M. Loomis of New Haven has entered protest against the award of first premium on pianos, and the Deering Agricultural Tool company has protested against the first premium on reaper and binder.
 The grangers will hold picnic in the main building tomorrow, and that will be the last of the State fair for 18S7
 The following are further awards of pre- miums:
 The New Haven firm of R. B. Bradley, as usual for years past, contributed much in. their department, so interesting to agricu1- tHrists, to the fair attractions. They had

Serious Cutting ARRAY.

Esq. T. o. Abernathy's place, near

They were brothers in law, and 1t
seems that five or six years ago
Suader deserted his wife aud went
to West Tennessee where he was
about to marry again, but the wo
man got wind of his duplicity and
broke it off. He came back to
Giles and accused Mcintyre of tell
ing on him. He lived on Big
creek and one day last week he
rode over to where Mcintyre lived
where some men were building a
house and inquired for him and sat
down and waited until he came.
When Mcintyre arrived he accused
him bitterly of writing the letter
and told him he came to kill him
and then proceeded in the attempt
to carry his threat into execution.
He attacked him with knife, cut
ting him severely in the breast and
neck and delivering savage
thrust in the back that penetrated
the lungs. Suader escaped and il
still at large. DR.. Gray was calico
in and administered skilfully t.
the wounded man.

Married at Dellrose.
REPORTED bV Telephone.

Allow me space for a brief de-
scription of a pleasant episode
which took place in our community
to day. l refer to the ma: rage of
Mr.. B. A. Sheriff., our druggist at
Dellrose, to Miss Anna Smith,
daughter of that estimable man
known to many of your readers as
Esq. John Smith. Miss Anna has
recently been pupil of the Win
chester Normal and by her cultiva-
ton of mind and amiability has
won an enviable name. Mr.. Sher-
rill, descended as he is from such
an excellent family as that Of DR..
j. L. Sheriff., with his energy and
business qualifications, and haN
ing thought on his ways and turned
his feet unto the divine testimonies,
seems to give promise of making a
husband worthy of such bride.
The bridal presents rendered were
elegant, and better still, they were
useful, thus speaking well tor the
practical good sense OF the donors.
The marriage took place at the
family residence about l o'clock p.
m. in the presence of cosy little
group of near relatives, Rev. W. L.
Rowland performing the ceremony.
The discipline used was new copy
of the edition of 'S6 and was pur-
chased by the groom to De kept as
a souvenier of the occasion. After
the ceremony the guests partook of
an excellent dinner which was
highly enjoyed, and then the COM
pany dispersed in anticipation of a
pleasant reception tomorrow at
the residence of DR.. Sheriff..
